Yeah, I’m surprised too by how little there is for htpc use cases. And I’m bummed by how little development plasma bigscreen has seen.

Oh, honestly most of the software I’m using on it isn’t configured through nix. I’m sure I could go a bit further configuring Kodi with it, but the other things like Steam and Firefox wouldn’t really benefit.

If I were you, I’d just focus first on getting the base system setup and software installed. Then once you have the software how you like, start porting configuration over to your nix config file(s). That’s one of the nice things about NixOS; there’s no rush to get everything in a single config file, but you can opt in when it makes sense.

I don’t know about hottest, but on my little HTPC I’m running NixOS with KDE (mainly for KDE Connect, but it’s nice to have a DE of some sort when things crash/break).

I set up flex launcher to auto start and added menu options for Kodi, Firefox, and Steam.

I used to run LibreElec. It was mostly fine, but the Kodi YouTube plugin breaks just often enough that I wanted to have a web browser as backup. Also, I eventually wanted to play/stream games to it.

Real talk, Fortnite is the only remaining reason I still dual boot into Windows.

I mean, if you’re voting within a “first past the post” voting system for a solo position, then yeah you cannot vote outside the two expected, establishment choices and expect it to do anything other than spoil the next candidate you would have chosen.

You have to change the voting system first to something else like ranked choice.

There’s a fun little article about it here.

Since it’s a laptop, for whichever distros you’re considering I would absolutely check for any compatibility issues or weirdness others have experienced (things like sleep/wake, power management, wifi, webcam, any other features on the laptop).

What laptop is it?

You’re confusing the metaphorical sort of “analogous” with the term “analogous” used in evolutionary biology.

The real cheat sheet:

Do you mean to creating a community? There’s a button in the header navigation to do that. An entire instance would be overkill.

Although, you might consider checking out [email protected] and [email protected]. Those seem like the sort of vibe you’re going for.

Do people actually think that produce in stores sits there for a week? Most of it is gonna be restocked daily for bigger stores… like twice a week at worst.

Also, just taking your produce out of it’s packaging immediately before storing in the fridge will help immensely with the moisture build up causing mold.

That’s fair. But since you do have a Switch, I’d still recommend finding a used copy of Yoshi’s Crafted World if you haven’t played it.

If you’re open to doing emulation, there’s a multitude of Nintendo games that are amazing couch co-op.

If it has hierarchical organization like files/folders, then miller columns. I wish there was a decent Linux file browser with miller columns; it’s one of my favorite things in macos.

If the cover art/thumbnail is helpful for quickly visually scanning, then grid. This is for things like my movies and shows in Kodi.

Everything else should be a list.

Basically, I could send you my configuration file (and lock file) and you could run a single command to get a system that looks/runs identical to mine.

We’ll just have to see how quickly we get a working emulator.

Ryubing (a fork of Ryujinx) is very good, so hopefully we’ll see something stem from that.

Yeah, I’ve only ever heard bad luck when it comes to prime and laptops. Usually, like you mentioned, due to limitations imposed in the BIOS.

The best thing I ever did was configure prime offloading so basically everything but games runs on my integrated graphics.

Still borked my graphics a few times setting that up, but I’m on nixos so it wasn’t a big deal.

But before:
